Turns out that in London, city hall posts a little note outside their doors with the names of couples planning to marry, and that tipped off the world to Clooney and Alamuddin's next nuptial step. Said notice has now been taken down (but not, I'm sure, before several publicists nearly had heart attacks).

The couple is expected to wed in Italy. I wouldn't necessarily hold my breath for a huge affair, since when I close my eyes what I picture is George in one of his own suits, Amal in something breezy and off-the-rack, and expensive champagne they brought with them from home. But what do I know—until simplicity is confirmed, let's speculate about dresses.
